Pretty soon, we're talking real money
Jun. 22nd, 2006 07:57 amWe have subsidized soda machines at work. About a year ago, they started carrying bottled water. My cow-orkers go through four or five bottles each every day.
While that's healthy of them, I don't understand the economics of it all. At a quarter apiece, it's not huge dollars but a buck a day is $20-25 per month. We live in the SF Bay Area and get our water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir. It's very pure - there was even a short-lived attempt to sell it.
Why would anyone spend money on bottled water when free stuff from the tap tastes as just good or better?
